as i said, we had three balanced budgets under president clinton with republican house leadership. and then we had won with bush as president. and we did pass from -- some tax cuts, and i think those were positive. but the caller did not admit something called 9/11 when we had a terrorist attack on the united states happen on september 11, 2001. that changed the economic equation not just in the united states but around the world. that caused a severe recession. people pulled back, you know, and as that happened, then we had this situation with the banks. they had all their problems, and we all know about that. so the economic problems that we have had in the last 10 years are not because of the bush tax cuts. i would say they are in spite of them. again, if you look at the charts, there has been a slight decline in revenue and is the beginning to come back. but the problem is not the revenue line. the problem is the spending line. you know, my first year in congress back in 1985, the entire federal budget, the entire federal budget was less than $1 trillion. this year, the total s

guest: when president clinton left off the we were in a surplus. we were bringing in more revenue than we were spending. when george bush came to office, he created two brand new tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires that were unpaid for. two wars on our nation's credit card and that's what created this fiscal mess. that's what started the jobs going away. when president obama took office we were hemorrhaging jobs and we were in deep debt. the idea they're now coming and saying, here's this mess we created and you didn't clean it up fast enough and now elect us. it's not accurate. if we want to rein in spending and balance the budget, we need to follow the policies that president obama is proposing which is to bring us back to the clinton era tax policies. host: i'll come to you. guest: it is amazing how much the democrats whine about what happened. the fact is, president bush had to deal with september 11th. we act like that didn't happen. the fact is he dealt with s eptember 11th. he stood there, fixed the problem and yes, we had to deal wit
